New York Fashion Week | Prints and Themes

New York Fashion Week ended on a high as both new and established designers presented chic collections for autumn/winter ‘12. Energetic prints and diverse color themes captured our imagination for the new season, and there was an eclectic mix to choose from—contemporary looks, timeless shapes and inspirations from East to West.

The fusion of prints ranged from dainty to animated. English artists Lynn Chadwick and Glenn Brown influenced Brood’s fluid and complex prints, much like those seen at ICB by Prabal Gurung. Pyjama dressing is still on trend as the Olsen sisters delivered tightly flower printed silk pyjamas for Elizabeth and James. Elsewhere, Lela Rose presented sleeveless shift dresses in linear and geometric fabrics (a nod to Dallas’ Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge), and Johnson Hartig mixed embellished and quilted knits with dark floral prints for Libertine.
